Pocahontas's Farewell
(Film Clip Poem)

She stands on the edge
of the bluff
overlooking the harbor
watching his ship sail
out to sea
but not out
of her mind.
As a strong breeze
fills the sails,
the soundtrack crescendoes
to the final note of the coda,
and she recalls his unforgettable words:
"I'd rather die tomorrow
than live a hundred years
without ever knowing you."
(Fade to black.)

Peggy, I liked this, it is like you were describing the end of the movie, I wonder how many people have music in their minds during auspicious occasions...hmm. an interesting way of looking at the meeting and seperation of two completely different cultures and individuals.
Nicely done.

Hi Steve,

I must apologize for waiting to acknowledge your appreciative comments. Thank you so much for reading and posting!!! I'm so glad you like it! I watched the Disney version of Pochantas with my granddaughter this past weekend and cried rather strongly at the end and decided I'd change it just a bit and see if it had a similar affect in free verse with a smidgen of screen writing description in it.

Thanks again!!

Peggy

Dear Peggy,

Have you just invented a new genre?

Movie-Clip Poetry

?

A good powerful image is cast with two characters departing.
One revels in imagining what occurred in the previous scenes.


Do write some more please!

This could become contagious.

Hi my friend Wally,

Thanks so much for the encouragement and inventing a name for my mixture here!! I really was touched be the music, dialogue and images of that movie. I half-way wondered if I was violating Disney's copyright. I just wrote another poem based on characters from a favorite newspaper cartoon strip. Do you know any rules that would make what I'm doing illegal? I can't think of any myself.

Thanks again for your kind comments!

Dear Peggy,

I cannot possibly see how a poem depicting the characters of a movie or cartoon strip can infringe copyright. It is a species of cometary and reviews are done all the time. Look at what "Mad Magazine" publish, it is a wonder they survive! Providing it is your own work and words of others are properly quoted, I see no problems.

May we see that new poem now?

Hugz,

Wally

Hi Wally,

Okay, but it's rhyme and meter. I'll post it in that forum. It's called "The Wizard's Potion."
